Awesomely Celtic Bliss.......2005-05-28

I could not help be listen to album for seven days straight. The whiskey helped...but moreso the music was so riveting I could not leave the house. I am now deaf in one ear but it was worth it. You must hear this album. CuckCoo ForCeltic

Simply Awesome.......1999-10-20

I do not consider myself an expert on traditional Scottish music, but I do know what I like --and I love this album (and the Tannies!) It is one of my all-time favorites of any genre. Everytime I play it, I am blown away. And I play it often! Some highlights (and there are lots of highlightable moments here): "Atholl Highlanders/Johnny Cope" -- these two Jacobite songs are melded perfectly and, to put it as best I can, they ROCK! Also, there's the devestating, "Jamie Raeburn's farewell" -- one of very few Tannies songs to feature that non-traditional Scottish instrument, the electric Guitar. Heart-wrentchingly emotional. But these are just two great moments in an overall awesome collection.

This CD is a great introductioin to both Traditional Scottish music and the Tannahill Weavers. If you have any interest in Scottish/Celtic music, piping, or just plain good music, then get this CD!

WOW!!! Great music!.......1999-10-16

I saw these guys play in Charlotte Oct. 13 of this year, and Wow!! They are great! I'm a student piper, so I was simply amazed at the skill and speed of Duncan, the piper. The songs are great, every one of the men in Tannahill Weavers is very talented and you can see they not only just sing, but they sing with emotion, love and meaning. You will not be disappointed in any of their CD's. I guarantee that if you are a lover of scottish/irish music the slightest bit, you will fall in love with this group's soulful music.

Great folk music from the kings of the Highland pipes.......1998-11-04

When it comes to bagpipe music, the Tannies are far and wide my favorite. Superbly blended with the entourage of other traditional celtic instruments, these songs are truly inspiring and heartwarming. From the foot-thumping energy of Johhny Cope, to the powerful drama of Jamie Raeburn's Farewell, this album will surely raise your spirits and stir your soul! Forget all that new-age pseudo-celtic music that has flooded the market in recent years. If you want the best of traditional jigs and reels, this is where to find it. The _Best of_ is a perfect place for new listeners of the Tannies and new listeners of celtic music in general to start out. If this music doesn't have you out of your seat and dancing, you must be tied to the chair! Give it a listen!

Some of the Best in Scottish folk.......2007-04-23

An excellent introduction to the Battlefield Band, one of if not the premier Scottish folk groups. You can't go wrong here. And for those Irish folk music fans out there who might be put off by a previous reviewers claim that there is a vast difference between the two folk traditions, please give this album a try. You'll find much that you will like. To begin with, the various incarnations of the Battlefield Band have included Irish players and singers (Pat Kilbride comes to mind), and have included many Irish tunes and songs. Scottish and Irish music, owing to deep geographical, cultural, and historical ties, have always cross pollinated each other. There is an enormous body of song and melody, usually under variant titles, that both cultures hold in common. There are certainly distinct regional and national differences, which keeps the music interesting and vibrant, but even these do not produce any kind of hard and fast musical paradigm. The fiddle playing style of Donegal, for instance, is heavily influenced by the Scottish musical tradition, and embraces such manifestly Scottish musical forms as the strathspey and reel. Give Altan a listen to hear what I mean. Modern Scottish and Irish folk groups has done nothing if not accelerate this appreciation and assimilation of each others music. Try to find an album by any Celtic band you can think of that does not include at least some of both countries music. You'll discover that it is a difficult task. The place to start, of course, is with this album. Pick out the differences and similarities for yourself. It will be a rewarding process.

Great retrospective of one of Scotland's most enduring traditional music groups.......2006-11-05

For those who know Battlefield Band, this is a wonderful compilation
of some of their best music. For those who do not know the band, this
is a fabulous introduction, not only to Battlefield Band themselves
but to Scottish traditional and traditional-style music. Battlefield
Band were pioneers in the use of the great highland bagpipe in
ensemble play and this compilation showcases the great pipers that
have played with the band over the years.

Classic Scottish Folk - Nothing New for Long Time Fans.......2005-08-18

The Battlefield Band is one of the finest, and perhaps most authentic of the Scottish folk groups that is recording today.

Perhaps the initial reveiwer of this work, X-Man, does not understand that Battlefield Band is NOT an Irish group, and there is a vast, vast difference between Irish folk music and Scottish folk music. Not only are they from two different cultures, but the instruments and playing styles are completely different. To compare Battlefield Band to the Chieftans is like comparing a Porche Carerra and a Boxter - there maybe a superficial resemblance, but under the hood, the engines are completely different.

This collection is weak in a number of areas- favoring the instrumental pieces over the songs, and is missing some of my personal favorites, such as "The Snows of France & Holland," "I Am the Common Man," the haunting cover version of Sting's "We Work the Black Seam," as well as the anthem to Scottish liberty - "Montrose".

All in all, though - a good introduction to the group, but not worth buying if you've already got most of the discography - which can be said for any long-range retrospective album.

What a bunch of FREAKS........2005-05-13

Traditional Irish folk music gets spazmolagized again.

I long for the days of the 1970's and 80's when De Dannan, Planxty, The Bothy Band, The Furey Brothers (aka The Buskers), Boys of the Lough, Wolfe Tones, Davy Arthur, Danny Doyle, Tommy Makem and The Clancy Brothers, The Dubliners, etc. blessed the world with the most beautiful of traditional Irish folk music in its purest form.

Anyone loony enough to have the unmitigated gall to refer to this pile of bandicoot barf and epileptic caterwauling as Irish music - much less even liking it - would have to be a freaking retard with an IQ of somewhere below -74 with a bib around their neck to catch the drool.

Too short.......2004-01-24

A good compilation, but a better one would have been 2 CDs long (at least). Another flaw is the accompanying notes, in which the solo singers and instrumentalists for each track are not identified.

Average customer rating: Worth it for track 10 alone!

Worth it for track 10 alone!.......2003-04-23

A mixed CD of pipes and brass that offers a good variety of tunes and styles. Performances are variable (some are downright amateur), as is sound quality. Having said that, there are a few cracking (pipe) tunes in there - check out the Banjo Breakdown / Butterfingers / Caber Feidh medley by the Edinburgh City Pipers.
Overall, this CD is not bad if you ignore the brass!
